House Bank

I made this today for a swap on the CC Swaps group. The theme was Money For a Rainy Day. We were supposed to make a bank that could only be opened by destroying it! I got my lovely heart shaped bank from Sweet Pea a couple (?) weeks ago and have been putting all my spare change in it. I hope Tamara (my swap partner) likes hers!

This started as a paper mache house that I bought around Halloween. I meant to make a haunted house and never got around to it. I covered it with various vintage papers and then added trim from RockCandy Studios. Stamps are from Time to Stamp/I Brake for Stamps, Oxford Impressions, and Lasting Impressions with Panache. The hole for the money is in the top of the chimney. She can look thru the windows and watch her money adding up, but she can't get to it!
